Has MM an internet security problem?

I emailed Aaron two weeks ago, last week, Sunday, and just yesterday in reply to his question. So that would be 4 out and 1 in. Even with mail going both ways I have not noticed an increase of any sort. Now that you mention it I have noticed a marked decrease since I had my paypal account deleted. Not that I am saying the two (spam mail and paypal) are related.

I've gotten a HUGE increase in spam over the last week or two, but I have never emailed MM. I think with the buying holidays coming up spammers are trying to cash in.

spam has soared last months, it's all over the news (well not all over it, but it did make the headlines here (here being Belgium))

I had 118 spam messages between 7am this morning and 4pm this afternoon. That's about 3 times my normal rate.

It may also be time to a) Use my alternate e-mail and b) Stop posting my e-mail at my website in a bot-friendly form.
